It's Wednesday, July 19. Do we flip the House blue in November?

[saltpoint]

Do we gain or lose seats in the House?

In the Senate?

Can we flip them both?

Will events conspire to favor a more stable Iraq and a more promising domestic economic forecast to boost the GOP's chances instead?

Are we underestimating how pissed off voters are at the party currently controlling all 3 branches of government?

Will anybody miss Rick Santorum if he loses to Casey in Pennsylvania?

1. Gain in BOTH

Gain in the Senate
Flip them BOTH
Iraq stable :rofl: under aWoL? :rofl: :rofl:
a More promising Domestic Economy :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Miss Santorum? Not if I get him in my sites.

3. Hi, Vincardog. Both chambers? Sounds pretty good to me.

I'll take that scenario, no problem.

4. All we have to do is win too BIG for them to steal it AGAIN.

aWoL is giving us all the ammo we need. We only need candidates to stand up and speak truth to power.

5. I'm encouraged (read: DELIGHTED) by Santorum's difficulties so far

in Pennsylvania.

Also we have some good candidates in many House races across the country.

I'm not a pie-in-the-sky Democrat, but the trendlines are starting to look better right now than they did last summer.

2. If we can get around the diebold voting machine...I feel that the country

is ready for a change, but those voting machine could flip the vote..

6. We'll pick up 2 or 3 in the senate and probably take

back the house.

At least thats how I see it playing out.

8. I agree in the senate

If you break it down by theoretical percentage, +3 is the plurality favorite in the senate. I would agree with your guess of + 2-3.

In the House I go back and forth. Today I noticed on Blue in Texas that Sara applied mathematical projection to the competitive House races and they did not look great, many seats remaining red that look like good pickup opportunities subjectively. I would change a few of her partisan numbers but not significantly: http://californianintexas.blogspot.com/2006/07/formula-predictions-for-pre-primary.html

7. We will lose ground. Hastert has already guaranteed it.

9. Well, if Denny Hastert said it...

...then ...

it MUST be bullshit!
